ads 345 removal and advice,hijack this log attached
Please could anybody help us.For the last few months we have been plagued by a website hijacker 'Ads 345' but as pc novices haven't a clue what it is or how to remove it safely.
I have attached the hijack this log that I ran today and would be extremely grateful for advice on what to do next.
Thanks, Dave McG :
